My Lord and my God! Lord Jesus, remember me, when you come into your Kingdom. Have mercy upon me a miserable sinner. Let me not sink into the dust forever. Pie Jesu
O my goosebump..😇😇😭😇✨✨❤️❤️Thank you Lordd..! Verily, i say..I was in a dark place for so long, & depressed..took medicine in vain..& lots of stories.. BUT! one day! after you found me lord, I'm free & I have seen the perfect love🤍, joy & peace in my life..in you..✨& now i am fully cure, without any medicine...You are my everything Lordd.😭😇❤️✨🤍
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.
Hymns like this one kept me going to Mass on Sundays when I was a child. Music is needed in praise, it makes God happy when we use the voices he gave us to exalt him.
When I was sinking down, sinking down....Thank you Jesus for lifting me up and out of the pit of mire, for washing me clean and sitting me down at your table. What a great sacrifice for your precious children. I am eternally grateful. xo
Mock on mockers. You enjoy the life He gave you, yet you mock Him. This life isn't forever as one day you'll find out. We all will die and face God. Enjoy your time here becasue God is not mocked.
It's amazing that the son of God would die for us. Instead of mocking us for the sinners we are he came to save us. We shou;d spred the good news as far and wide as we possibly can so that others may know the savior of the world
Michelle Tumes has a voice that is pure and really and truly makes this song a blessing. Her sound is like that of a Celtic singer's (namely The Celtic Women). its just beautiful.
People, get over yourselves. This is a wonderful rendition of a song to our Saviour. Personally couldn't care less where Michelle hails from, she has a haunting, expressive voice which she uses to praise our Savior. Thanks for posting.
One of the most beautiful melodies created...my chorus sang this years ago with the most beautiful voices....thank you Quabbin Regional High School Singers!! Love Alexis Black Ferrigno
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (March 14), we sang this as our closing hymn. It is (don't laugh) #666 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
So so touching snd adds flame to our Love for Him, wjlh9 laid down His crown for our soul add. I play this over and over after ass at home and whenever I feel like singing /praying /talking to Him.
Instead of acting so angry towards those who don't believe, we should pray for and pity them. They are missing the most beautiful thing this world has to offer. Focus less on the wrath of God and more on his infinite mercy.
This song sends chills down in me.Straight to the heart & soul of what Jesus did for us.It is right up there with Amazing Grace.God's love is so amazing! There is nothing in this world that compares to the love that God has shown us through his son
Vernon Erickson because there is a place of purification. they are shown mercy, and sent to purgatory, we prsy because they can't there, and when released to heaven by our prayers especially at the Mass, they in turn will pray for our souls. Be humble, and don't presume your soul is ready to face Christ Jesus, dmface to face, who is Holiness itself. even the angels in heaven are humble. in God's mercy he made purgatory for those of us, stoll in need of purging venial si ns, of selfishness, jelousy, greed, pride.
+Michelle Tavakoli There is no passage in Holy Scripture that supports the doctrine of Purgatory. Jesus spoke on heaven and hell and never once mentioned the word "purgatory" if there was a good time to bring it up that would be the time, when preaching about the afterlife. "don't presume your soul is ready to face Christ Jesus, dmface to face" I agree we shouldn't always think we are ready to face our Maker, we need to work out our salvation with fear and trembling to quote the Apostle Paul. Which means, we are to test our salvation to see whether we are in the faith. But we CAN know that we are saved and we CAN know we will go to heaven after death. 1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. Salvation is a sure thing, we can have assurance that we are saved, since Jesus is our author and finisher of our faith (Heb 12:2). We DON'T need purgatory to purge of all the sins, since the blood of Jesus cleanses us from ALL sin. This is where the doctrine of purgatory is unbiblical, it goes against Holy Scripture. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. Please test what you believe to Holy Scripture.
Beautiful song and video. Lord Come and make all the vain babblings stop and bring your love and light. Let words come out to praise and rejoice you Lord. Amen
It is amazing to me why people who dont believe keep coming to these channels! Go somewhere else and spew your ugly thoughts about Someone who means alot to me. I dont go to places you like and start making judgements! There is all of RUclips to visit. Your ugly words will never change my mind...Beautiful video! Trolls are always out and about...why they waste our time? When they dont have to watch at all!
Stargazor47 christ himself said when one strikes your cheek, present him the other one, by agressivly attacking the trollers back you only give them more ammo to throw back at you, dont put up with it but simply thank them for their opinion and ask if they wanted to watch this and listen to the music, why did they leave such negativity and put a comment about it...logically one would just leave the video and continue to find somthing else to occupy their precious time. Remember, love your enemies as you would love yourself, if you dont then whats the victory in that? Even though i say this it is hard to do, but its more rewarding in the end.
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, That caused the Lord of bliss, To bear the dreadful curse, For my soul, for my soul, To bear the dreadful curse for my soul. When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down Beneath God’s righteous frown, Christ laid aside His crown for my soul for my soul, Christ laid aside His crown for my soul. To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing! To God and to the Lamb, I will sing! To God and to the Lamb, Who is the great "I AM, " While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing! While millions join the theme, I will sing. And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on! And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, And when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be, And thro' eternity, I'll sing on, I'll sing on, And thro' eternity, I'll sing on.
This is one of the videos I used for inspiration while writing a piece of music for Concert Band based on this same hymn. Feel free to check out the video, and thanks for posting this one! Beautiful singer!
They come here because they have been everywhere else to no avail. Jesus will take them no matter how angry, hateful and obstinate they may be. Hence......What Wondrous Love.
The visuals are from Italian director Franco Zeffirelli "Jesus" a miniseries that aired more than 30 years ago, it had a cast of international stars who were not after to act on a Christian production, Olivia Hussey was Mary, Jesus was played by Robert Powell, others included Ian McShane, Ernest Borgnine, James Farentino, Michael York, Anne Bancroft, Christopher Plummer, and many others. It is so sad what has happened to Hollywood.
@wa739 and who are you to judge others? Not only are we as christians taught not to pass judgement on others (Matt 7:1), we are taught that we all have our own master to answer to (romans 14:4), so we should not judge other religions. I love this hymn btw....Miss Tumes does a wonderful rendition of it too...
Pascals Wager? You don't have to guess. You can experience God directly, although with your own efforts you will never find Him, no matter how hard you try. Because He is sovereign. It is He who has decided the way. ONLY through faith and obedience (ie repentence) in Jesus Christ can He be known.
It's called faith. Also, the Old Testament creation stories are etiological stories, told to help explain how things came about. As for Christ, I put my faith that an extraordinary man like him lived and died for me. He taught two very important lessons: Love your God and your neighbor with all of your heart. I don't care if you're atheist, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. If everyone followed those two important rules, the world would be well off.
To everyone who is posting about how God doesn't exist, or that they are angry at God for one reason or another, I would say that I understand how you feel. I have felt the same way at times in my life, sometimes very much so. If you truly feel that God doesn't exist I recommend a book to you: The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. The guy was a crime scene reporter who thought his Chirstian wife was nuts and tried to prove her wrong and proved her right instead. It may be the proof you need.
One of them, Cleopas, replied, "Are you the only one in Jerusalem who doesn't know what has happened recently?" ironic,..he was the only one who DID btw got this from ravi zacharias, ..just realized i never posted his name here..my bad
@SamWiseGingy i don't think you're ignorant about anything. sorry if i gave you that impression. i meant that you bring up valid points that every Christian, and some of the biblical writers had to struggle with.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
@majav15mg We only call you a sinner because the Bible identifies sin as that which separates man from God. If you have chosen to remain separate from God, then by Biblical definition you are a sinner. Don't judge us either. We have no more values or purity than you do, but we have a Savior who"laid aside His crown for my soul" as the song says. My prayer is that you will, one day, love THIS version of the tune....
for those in this forum that seem to be considering the validity of the religious lifestyle of Christianity, please consider if nothing else Pascals Wager.
@majav15mg Ummm, hahaha back at you. There are a number of Christian hymns which were put to the tunes of known songs - some bar songs, in fact. You've missed the point, and, apparently, you are missing the far greater point. That's why I said "THIS" version, by the way. I know there is another. God bless!
@DanKleinhenn2012 i know this reply is long in coming but i disagree. this woman's voice has a more celtic feel to it than connie's. also, this arrangement isn't 'pop' like in anyway, its smooth and hypnotisizing.
Judgement is about authority, wisdom, and the power to act on what the judge believes. And this kind of judgement is the heaviest humans know: judgement of the soul for eternity. I personally judge christianity to be right and i will be judged by my God for my choice. But I cannot rightly exercise judgement on others, especially when it comes to serious matters such as the conscience of the soul. Therefore, I will not condemn nor praise any other religion because I am not worthy of deciding.
@SgtRock57 Do not be arrogant and think highly of yourself while rebuking others. Let God pass judgement. It is abominable to be prideful (proverbs 16:5), and we are called to not dominate over the flock, but to be examples for them (1Peter 5:3). This means not holding yourself above anyone. We are all equal
I can see we will not agree. Mainly due to what we understand 'believing' to mean. I understand it to mean we are to love god and our neighbors whole heartedly, and act honorably, justly, yet humbly in all we do. I surmise that belief extends past verbal profession of belief and into how we act and think. If you act justly with love purely from goodness in your heart, I believe that is just as valid as saying "I believe Jesus is the Son of God".
@sirensbane17 No offense, but I feel like I'm missing nothing. You know that feeling you get when God or Jesus is in your presence, that is the SAME feeling I get when listening to a song like this; or when I look upon a beautiful sunset, or reflect on the billions of animals that had to die in order for me to exist, or the fact that the atoms of which I'm made of, came from a dying star. (I'm not trying to be rude or deconvert) I'm just saying, no need to pray or pity. :)
@SamWiseGingy read Job, Ecclesiastes and Lamentations, if you want. Your critique of God is not new. Even the biblical writers were very honest with their doubts of God. What they learned is that their theology wasn't big enough to allow for innocent suffering, or for a sovereign Creator God to pass on justice to a world that fell far short of his moral standards and design for them. They learned that evil people may seem to prosper now, but that God will certainly bring them to justice.
I go on to contemplative Christian music videos on youtube to (presumptuously) insist on how science somehow justifies my repudiation of religion, which I disparagingly call mythology. Who doesn't?
My Lord and my God!
Lord Jesus, remember me, when you come into your Kingdom.
Have mercy upon me a miserable sinner.
Let me not sink into the dust forever.
Pie Jesu
Perfect song for today (Valentine day). As we celebrate our loved ones let's remember God's love. #GodisLOVE!
O my goosebump..😇😇😭😇✨✨❤️❤️Thank you Lordd..! Verily, i say..I was in a dark place for so long, & depressed..took medicine in vain..& lots of stories.. BUT! one day! after you found me lord, I'm free & I have seen the perfect love🤍, joy & peace in my life..in you..✨& now i am fully cure, without any medicine...You are my everything Lordd.😭😇❤️✨🤍
Greater love has no man than this .. that He lay down His life for His friends .. Jesus Friend of Sinners (of whom I am the worst)!
Ralph A. Estle We have all done bad stuff. Don't be hard on yourself.
1 Timothy 1:15This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Jesus is GOD. Obey Him, worship Him, love Him...Come soon, Lord Jesus!
I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT YOUR SERIOUS DRUG PROBLEM.
Yes, come quickly Lord.
I love this song and the way she sings it; she has a beautiful voice and this song is a masterpiece.
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.
Amen! You quoted my favorite verse, 2 Corinthians 4:6
The LORD'S Blessing to you !
Hymns like this one kept me going to Mass on Sundays when I was a child. Music is needed in praise, it makes God happy when we use the voices he gave us to exalt him.

After Mass
Instead of acting so angry towards those who don't believe, we should pray for and pity them. They are missing the most beautiful thing this world has to offer. Focus less on the wrath of God and more on his infinite mercy.
Truly the most beautiful version. So ethereal.
and when from death I'm free I'll sing and joyful be and through eternity I'll sing on
I love it amazing video. It really speaks to you about what christ did for us.
some people think it would get old really fast to sing all the time... but if heaven sounds anything like this, then yes, through eternity I'll sing!
One of Tumes best performances. The video is a beautiful meditation on His love. Well done Nick. God bless and thank you. :)
This is so wonderful and inspiring, music like this is needed so badly compared to what you hear now in some churches in this modern times.
😢😢awesmmmm Melody voice
Jesus! we love you so!!!!!
I feal so unworthy of this gift Lord.But have seeked truth and found Love 1 John 4:8 GOD is love.Peace is coming!

Gorgeous voice and arrangement. Great little film!
Prayers for the soul of Father Jacques Hamel.
With all respect sir, why pray for people who are dead? How can that help them?
Vernon Erickson because there is a place of purification. they are shown mercy, and sent to purgatory, we prsy because they can't there, and when released to heaven by our prayers especially at the Mass, they in turn will pray for our souls.

Thankyou for your explanation. I did not go to that depth but you stated it well.
.n
A hauntingly beautiful rendition - her voice is well-suited to this hymn. I also appreciated the clips from the various movies.
wow her voice is so freaking amazing!!
ohmyword so pretty i am sooo jealous lol just kiding but wow what a gift!
Such beautiful singing with the visual reminders of Christ's love video segments.
Beautiful, just beautiful. Christ, in You I place my trust.

She has such a beautiful voice.
Beautiful.
at last i found this song been looking for this one after hearing it on the radio
thank you
This is some mystifying music...excellent voice.
Who would pay the penalty for my Sins. Only Jesus.
It is amazing to me why people who dont believe keep coming to these channels! Go somewhere else and spew your ugly thoughts about Someone who means alot to me. I dont go to places you like and start making judgements! There is all of RUclips to visit. Your ugly words will never change my mind...Beautiful video! Trolls are always out and about...why they waste our time? When they dont have to watch at all!
Stargazor47 Amen to that. Said very well.
Stargazor47 christ himself said when one strikes your cheek, present him the other one, by agressivly attacking the trollers back you only give them more ammo to throw back at you, dont put up with it but simply thank them for their opinion and ask if they wanted to watch this and listen to the music, why did they leave such negativity and put a comment about it...logically one would just leave the video and continue to find somthing else to occupy their precious time. Remember, love your enemies as you would love yourself, if you dont then whats the victory in that? Even though i say this it is hard to do, but its more rewarding in the end.
This gives me chills.
Brought tears to my eyes. Love it!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this,
That caused the Lord of bliss,
To bear the dreadful curse,
For my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down
Beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing!
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing!
To God and to the Lamb, Who is the great "I AM, "
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing!
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on!
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on,
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be,
And thro' eternity, I'll sing on, I'll sing on,
And thro' eternity, I'll sing on.
Be of good cheer, brothers and sisters! Soon you shall see your Lord and God, and live with for eternity!
O I love this song
Is wonderful song !
I enjoyed!
This is one of the videos I used for inspiration while writing a piece of music for Concert Band based on this same hymn. Feel free to check out the video, and thanks for posting this one! Beautiful singer!
Awesome video!
Great posting..Very moving!!!
They come here because they have been everywhere else to no avail. Jesus will take them no matter how angry, hateful and obstinate they may be. Hence......What Wondrous Love.
Absolute greatest story ever told
.
The visuals are from Italian director Franco Zeffirelli "Jesus" a miniseries that aired more than 30 years ago, it had a cast of international stars who were not after to act on a Christian production, Olivia Hussey was Mary, Jesus was played by Robert Powell, others included Ian McShane, Ernest Borgnine, James Farentino, Michael York, Anne Bancroft, Christopher Plummer, and many others. It is so sad what has happened to Hollywood.
ty was trying to figure out what to respond, you got it one point ty very much :D.
pretty song
@wa739 and who are you to judge others? Not only are we as christians taught not to pass judgement on others (Matt 7:1), we are taught that we all have our own master to answer to (romans 14:4), so we should not judge other religions.

@wa739
We should pray for them!
I can't find "Far" by Michelle Tumes anywhere! Not on Ruckus or RUclips.
It's called faith. Also, the Old Testament creation stories are etiological stories, told to help explain how things came about. As for Christ, I put my faith that an extraordinary man like him lived and died for me. He taught two very important lessons: Love your God and your neighbor with all of your heart.

@SamWiseGingy i don't think you're ignorant about anything. sorry if i gave you that impression. i meant that you bring up valid points that every Christian, and some of the biblical writers had to struggle with.
@majav15mg Understood -I read it differently! Still wishing you God's blessings!
What movie is 0:44 from?
XRockXandXRoll7654 It's called, "Jesus of Nazareth," from '77. It's a great film! 👍
Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.
Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
There a higher quality version of this?
@majav15mg We only call you a sinner because the Bible identifies sin as that which separates man from God.

@wa739 God's wrath never saved anybody, only his mercy has.
@BennyMfan You know... I tried to take this into another direction since I really don't want to get into any sort of debate... ;-)
Michelle Tumes is from Australia.... so not American country anyhow.... not sure what you mean about wave in her voice either.
for those in this forum that seem to be considering the validity of the religious lifestyle of Christianity, please consider if nothing else Pascals Wager.

@magpie4321 This doesn't sound like country at all; it's more like new age accompaniment with a folk style voice.

I don't think you can find jesus. He has to find you. And then it's all a matter of whether or not you accept him in your life.
yes,between christian killing and muslim killing, wondrous might be the word,, i mean " what wondrous love is this?"
The only true christian died on that cross.
What is truth???
